   Monday night's explosion
Everything is going well here. Thursday I have no school, but I'll be studying for my exams on Friday -_-...

Something really weird happened on Monday night. I was just online on Monday evening, when around 10:50 pm there were these two huge explosions. I felt the shockwave and my computer even shook and the walls of my room made cracking sounds. I was like "Wt* is that???" I was really surprised. It sounded as if an meteorite fell near by or if a plane crashed somewhere in the street. It was an awful sound. The neighbors came out, wondering what happened and what was the explosion all about. Then, about north east, in the distance, a huge black cloud of smoke began rising against the black sky. Everyone (the neighbors) was shocked. In that direction there are many houses, and farther away in that same direction there are gasoline stations and a natural gas refinery. So everyone was speculating that maybe a house exploded from a gas leak, or that the gasoline station went boom or the natural gas refinery exploded. Everyone was nervous. Suddenly the wailing sounds of the fire dept. trucks were picking up, heading the direction of the explosion. So we were all worried and hoped no one was hurt in that explosion. The black cloud of smoke was very massive. The moon was out, so you could see the black outline against the navy blue night sky. The news of the event began coming out in all local radio stations. Apparently, the explosion had taken place in a agricultural field near downtown. Two large crude oil tanks had exploded, probably due to an act of arson. People from all corners of the city were calling in, saying they had heard the massive explosion. More news came in and officials were saying that there were no people injured. So that was good news. They got the massive fire under control.

The next day, we passed by that road where the explosion took place because that's the route I must take to go to school. The tanks were there. They had been blown open and collapsed on themselves. They're about 10-15 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. So they're very huge.

So yeah, that was quite interesting.
